yea i did it on my yashica, its kind of trade off cause the rf patch is darker, but theres a black area around the patch.

ak do you tend to goto the same area to shoot, cause alot of your locations look similar.

ive been doing that but it gets boring, maybe i need a better spot

$849 plus tax. But you do get the second lens which is cool. Mine includes a brand new bag, 32gig card, and is like new. I know the price is high but I fucking hate losing money that fast haha. I guess no one here is going to buy it so I guess I can actually share my thoughts about it.

It feels like a fucking toy. I handled a couple before I bought one but never noticed how plastic-y they feel before I owned it. The buttons feel like utter shit. Whenever I take the battery out Im scared of breaking that flap. The image quality is great and it is a fun camera.

What happened to build quality? The old film cameras I have, like the ME super, are fucking bullet proof. You could literally use one as a weapon.

@kmcdon3960 Im not losing interest by any means. Just dont like feeling like Im holding a $800 lomography camera.

Your teacher is doing the right thing. Go shoot. And when you're tired of shooting, go shoot some more. A lens with a faster f/stop might be a solution. Also a higher ISO setting may also be a solution. Are you shooting film or digital?

usually I jump all over people asking for advice in here, but I'm in a good mood.
For a canon, you can get the 50/1.8 for less than $100
the 50/1.4 costs about $400.

You probably could not tell the difference between a picture taken with the 1.8 or the 1.4, so you should probably get the 1.8

Craig Ownings

12-29-2010, 09:30 PM

And will that help with my situation of low light shooting?

kmcdon3960

12-29-2010, 09:38 PM

I'm gonna go ahead and assume that you're using the 18-55 kit lens, which is probably a f/3.5 lens or someshit like that. That means that it's not going to let a ton of light pass through it. A f/1.8 lens, like the one you're going to buy, lets a whole shitload of light in, thus, you can shoot with a faster shutter speed and reduce motion blur.
What you need to do is google some subjects regarding esposure, aperture, and stuff like that

edit: just found out I'm gonna be going to NYC for the new year. FUCK YEA!
Gonna take a couple cameras, some rolls of film, and hope for the best. I'm expecting that it's gonna be pandemonium.

as long as you have the right chemical mix and water temperature complete darkness especially when your developing film most tedious part is developing the film or buy your self some darkroom bags i seen em online imo that would only cause more frustration.

Straighten the first one, seems like you missed focus? might be a soft focal for the lens you used though - i know my 18-200 gets like that at the 200 end. Maybeee fill the frame a bit more with the subject for portraits. All I have =p

this is from saturday i hiked 20 minutes onto private property to get these. unfortunately i missed out on getting the one from friday due to leaving my camera at home thinking i would give it a break.terrible misfortune as friday's sunset was one of the most brilliant natural occurances i have ever had the fortune of experiencing in my life. it was like God had an acid trip and decided to paint the sky.

I like what you have done, don't really know what you were doing with those photos of that girl but for not doing any edits looks good to me. however if you do decide to edit it all you'd really have to do is change the contrast a bit and add a touch of highlight to the fifth one to create a bit of "texture" to that stark sky. the rest of them look fine, just the black and white effect is a hard pull with a blank sky.

I like those 'cuz that is some snow you got there... we might get one like that about every hundred years down here and we got ours last winter, so we have to settle for what we can get...Looks good by the way.

It's a Lexmark x5470. I actually don't know a lot about scanners, but I feel like I've got to go through all my color pictures and edit them before I post them.

That's the problem right there. You're probably better off getting them scanned at the lab. I know walgreens does it as an option. You're never going to get acceptable results scanning prints on that, you gotta get a scanner that scans negatives.

Yeah, this is very true, but for the time being, it will work. I don't exactly have the money for that, I'm hardly able to get my film developed. Anywho, I've lurked around this thread a lot, posted a few times, just hoping to get some advice/criticism on what I'm doing.

okay ive had my camera for a few months, it's an Pentax Optio 50L, I just want to know what the settings on the circular thing on top are. It shows a guy with a moon ( I assume it's for night pictures) A little guy running, a mountain with a cloud thing, a person, a "P", a "S", and a video camera, and a screw driver+wrench. Please help, I can't find any info online.

open up your manual or check online its a easy thing to figure out on your own theres gonna be apoint in time where your not gonna know how to figure something and the internet and or people arent gonna be around to help. figure shit on your own like all photographers did.

it all depends what building it is...some nights we just turn up and use previous knowledge and plan a route in 2 seconds of seeing it....sometimes it changes as you do spot PIR alarms, new cameras, and other alarm bits....but most of the time its finding the right time to jump a fence that no one see's 2 suspicious characters jumping a fence with back packs...and being london EVERYONE is on the 'its a terrorist' mvoement....
but its pretty easy most fo it is locating the stairwells to reach the top, if not your climbing the crane to the top, or your climbing scaffolding which can get very tiring....

yer heights are something which never phazes me....i kinda know its a bit dodgey but i still sit there and do it...im more scared of dropping my camera off the top half the time XD
Ive tried to get galleries to take prints, its fuckin impossible...well all the local ones ive visited anyway....yer i think the story would be pretty boring though, well if you kept it short enough to fit on the photo, but to make the story appealing its a bit much to just write with in a few lines of going on the photo if that makes sense....if i ever put some up in a gallery i would probably write a little paragraph to hang next to it.....also in england its not illegal to trespass...so i actually in theory take the photos legally as we dont break anything to enter etc....bit of a loophole in the law XD

If you're doing any urbex, just make sure you know how you're getting out, plan a few routes and don't be an idiot taking any markers/paint with you. You don't wanna get stuck with charges for that when you're trying to take photos

Channa, it'd be great to, for sure. Some rooftops you can but the ones Monkey is getting up on are skyscrapers, cranes, buildings under construction, etc.. Chances are nobody will see it and it'll be buffed. It just adds to the risk if you do get nabbed, they'll really slap you with it.
And toopski, that makes a bit more sense now, haha. I've heard Adelaide is pretty damn strict on everything like that. And their trains especially, damn.

Why in the world are your trains getting buffed?

toopski

01-19-2011, 01:47 PM

hahaha they dont get buffed often ne more tho they used to do it a lot when there was new things popping up on the trians every few nights

even painting fences @ train stops get buffed 1-2 days later

so pissed when it happened to mine a few times b4 i got 2 get pics, gotta hate the government

Tech0ps

01-19-2011, 05:58 PM

Because their commuters are owned by a private company, not the government. If they run any panels the government can fine them for NOT buffing it. It's also why they have tougher security, etc..

Anyway, photography...
Focus is off, shot from the hip, eh.

also i met some girl that pissed me of last night....she had a nikon 7d i think...cost like 1500pounds so about 3000 dollars...i said why did she go for that...her response was exactly

"the d40x i had was just sooooo shit....i couldnt do anything on it...it limited me so much in my photography....."

i asked her to elaborate what it limited her to....

"it just didnt let me take a good photo...it was always blurry, the colors were horrid..."

she continued to blab on about some other pointless shit...then i pointed out all my photos were taken on a d40x and she shut right up....i hate rich emo scene kids who think a camera limits them....kinda makes me want to punch them in the face...steal their camera and put it to some good use....

I might sell it and I might not. It's a very very big lens, and to me, that takes away the joy of having such a small high quality camera/lens combo. it tilts the camera off balance when your carrying it etc etc etc. So I just bought a CV 35 1.4, the tiny little one, (again) to see how I like it compared to the 35 1.2. If I find it comes out more or less the same then I'll probably sell the 1.2. I do love the bokeh of the 1.2 though wide open. And from what i've seen of the 1.4 bokeh on flickr... it looks a bit harsh. But I'll test all this shit and get back to you!
Zeiss 50/2 is a great lens. All the zeiss are. Sharp as fuck.

That, and shipping from NZ would be pretty expensive I reckon.

01-26-2011, 11:38 PM

The leather piece is supposed to go on first so it's inbetween the camera and the ring/metal bits. That way it keeps your camera from getting scratched. The way this guy has his shit setup, the leather bit isn't protecting anything.
